Hello September

Dearest Wildcat Families,

September has arrived, bringing with it a sense of new beginnings and fresh opportunities. As we settle into the rhythm of the new school year, we are excited to embark on another month filled with learning, growth, and community. With a hint of crispness in the morning air, it's a wonderful time to reflect on the goals we've set and the paths we are charting for the months ahead.

This month promises a range of activities, events, and opportunities for all of us to connect, celebrate, and learn together. From Parent Teacher Conferences to Movie Night, and academic challenges to creative projects, there’s something for everyone to look forward to.

Let's make September a month to remember by embracing every opportunity, supporting one another, and celebrating each step of our journey together. Here's to a fantastic month ahead!

Warmest regards,

Ms. Baltes

Why Attendance Matters

Regular attendance is crucial for every student's academic success and overall development. Here are a few reasons why attending school consistently is so important:

Academic Achievement: Students who attend school regularly are more likely to perform well academically. Every lesson builds on the previous one, so missing classes can make it harder to keep up with coursework, understand key concepts, and perform well on exams.
Social Development: School is not just about academics; it is also a place where students learn important social skills, such as teamwork, communication, and conflict resolution. Regular attendance helps students build friendships, develop social skills, and feel a sense of belonging within the school community.
Building Good Habits: Consistent attendance helps students develop responsibility and discipline. Learning to be on time and present is a valuable life skill that will benefit them in higher education and future careers.
Access to Resources: Schools provide a variety of resources that support learning, including access to teachers, extracurricular activities, libraries, and support services. Regular attendance ensures students can make the most of these opportunities.
Improved Well-being: Attending school regularly contributes to a student’s emotional and mental well-being. Being engaged in a routine, participating in school activities, and maintaining social connections can help students feel more secure, motivated, and positive about their education.
